  "summary": "Meta has unveiled its new VR Glasses at Meta Connect 2026. According to TechRadar, the glasses are \"supremely comfortable to wear\" and \"excellent for multitasking\". They have an advanced display, voice and hand controls, and integration with Meta's AI agent, Muse. The device weighs 100 grams, making it roughly five times lighter than the Meta Quest 3 headset, as per Mashable.\n\nThe glasses can connect to external displays and project a keyboard onto a flat surface. They support spatial audio, Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision, and an IMAX Enhanced cinema mode. They also support 3D movies and experiences through streaming apps such as Disney+. Gaming is another major feature, with support for Xbox Cloud Gaming and the entire Meta Quest game library.\n\nMeta also announced full-body hologram calling for both Meta VR Glasses and Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses. Additionally, the company is working on bringing its AI agent, Muse, to its smart glasses, which will allow users to handle tasks like guiding a workout, logging meals, or helping them shop for products. New accessibility features, including a Hearing Enhancement feature, are also coming to Meta's glasses.",
